Mary+Ann+Page+(1977)


 * SUMMARY: Mary Ann Page, age 36, died December 29, 1977 after an abortion performed in Cayohoga County, Ohio. **

Mary Ann Page is one of the women Life Dynamics identifies on their "[|Blackmun Wall]" as having been killed by a [|safe and legal abortion].

She was 36 years old when she went into cardiac arrest during an abortion/tubal ligation performed under general anesthesia on December 28, 1977

Both procedures were completed, then Mary Ann was taken to the Intensive Care Unit at St. Luke's Hospital.

Mary Ann suffered several more cardiac arrests while she was in the ICU. She was pronounced dead on December 29, 1977.

Ohio death records indicate that Mary Ann was Black, divorced, and a resident of Cleveland.

As you can see from the graph below, abortion deaths were falling dramatically before legalization. This steep fall had been in place for decades. To argue that legalization lowered abortion mortality simply isn't supported by the data.
